LeBron James is no stranger to style statements. Whether on or off the court, the NBA legend knows that performance and style always go hand in hand. His fan-favorite line of kicks for sports giant Nike combine the latest in technology and power for the rigorous demands of athletes with the versatility and cool-factor for wearing them out on the town.

For his latest sneaker collaboration with Nike – the ‘Lebron 16’ are not only a slam-dunk in style and as cool as the King himself – but super lightweight and stealth in black and red. Engineered to be dynamic, mobile, swift and strong, the LeBron 16 was designed specifically for James's athletic needs.

The 16 is even more flexible than the 15, but the upper's high-tenacity yarns allow for faster, natural movements that contain and lock down your feet better than the 15 and any shoe made before. You can run, jump, stop and go in any direction you please and it will always feel comfortable. An adjustable tongue makes it easy to slip on-and-off for a flexible, customizable fit. The signature outsole is updated with embedded Zoom Air units for springy responsiveness to allow natural ease and mobility of the foot.

With new, state-of-the-art technology and eye-catching design, these shoes will benefit all guys who are looking for a hyper cool performance sneaker with unequivocal style, perfect for throwing some hoops or just hanging out with your buds. It's the ultimate basketball shoe with everything you could ever need.

This must-have sneaker is available now in black and additional new colors soon to come at Nike.com.
